When Matching Goes Terribly Wrong

January 31st, 2007  •   Posted by: mark  •   Posted in: fashion  •   Comments Off

Yeah we know, you gotta look fresh when you leave the house… some nice denim, a clean pair of kicks, and a top to match. So, it was an honest mistake when Arash Derakhshan and Greg Street decided it would be a good idea to make some hoodies that match the Nike ‘Safari Pack’ and ‘Beast Pack’. Boy, could they have never been more wrong. These beasts should remain caged in the back of your closet forever. Get your hunting rifles ready; these animals will be released into the wild come February.

If you’ve sufferred from a lack of USB ports, you know how frustrating it can be when trying to use your keyboard and mouse at the same time, while trying to charge your iPod, upload photos from your digital camera, etc… Well Thanko came up with this USB hub. It accomodates up to eight USB devices, and not only is it practical, but looks cool too.

Homeroom Hoody

January 31st, 2007  •   Posted by: mark  •   Posted in: fashion  •   Comments Off

Super-trendy producer/emcee Kanye has been sighted rocking this Homeroom hoody. Besides the fact that it’s reversible, it also feature a glow-in-the-dark full-length zipper. Wow, what a great feature… I can’t recall how many times I’ve stumbled in the dark trying to zip up my hoody wondering why they don’t make ones that glow in the dark… The hoody is available exclusively through Digital Gravel… NOW!

Soundbombs

January 31st, 2007  •   Posted by: mash  •   Posted in: tech  •   Comments Off

The Soundbomb revolutionizes the traditional tag. Instead of leaving its mark with ink or paint, the soundbomb gets the attention of your ears, not your eyes. This little sphere comes equipped with a sensor and anytime someone walks near it, the sensor plays the sound that was previously recorded on it, whether it be a snippet from a song, or your own voice, etc… If you want one you can order it here but you have to give a good reason as to why you want one.

BAPE Varsity Jacket

January 31st, 2007  •   Posted by: mark  •   Posted in: fashion  •   Comments Off

BAPE has dropped these varsity jackets as part of their new collection. They feature the ape on the left chest, while the right chest features the initials A.S.N.K.A. The jacket comes in red, blue, and black. They are now available at Cliffedge.

Besides the jackets, there are also some nice hoodies and crewnecks available too. Although I’m not a fan of the typical multi-coloured BAPE gear, the new items are a lot more simple and plain.

Check out the other two varsity jackets and the hoodies and crewnecks after the jump.

Converse Cabin Hi

January 30th, 2007  •   Posted by: mark  •   Posted in: sneakers  •   Comments Off

I don’t really get too excited over Converses. They all pretty much look the same. Simple, minimal, classic. But when I first saw these Cabin Hi’s, it caught my interest straight off. The red and white checkered table cloth pattern with the yellow accents. Definitely something you don’t see everyday. But once I got a look from another angle, the table cloth motif started to make sense, and really make these shoes stand out. Peep it:
